Our top 12 favourite new wooden earrings and other new items for summer

Our booth at the market, featuring some of our custom built display stands. I will be writing a blog on how we made these from an assortment of used or nearly free items.

On the left side of the booth is one of the display stands we built for our new line of lightweight, colourful wooden earrings. Some of you may have seen our leather earrings at the booth or online. We now have a new collection of earrings and pendants made from Baltic birch. These earrings are large, lightweight, and only $25 CDN per pair. Each design can be custom made in any of the other colours you see online.

I started making some of these in leather, but the dyeing process was so time consuming that I could not keep them at the $25 price point. The great thing about the wooden pieces is that, with most of them, you can see the wood grain right under the colour, which adds an extra dimension to the piece.

Also, as part of our wooden earrings collection, due to popular demand, we started creating fandom favourites for the comic expos we attend and have carried those designs into our other shows as well. These will now also be available on our website. We will be adding some new fandom pieces for the Edmonton Expo coming up in September. Shows like Dr. Who have kept me company in the studio for quite a while. I like to use episodes as a way to track how long I have been working and how long each item takes. The next time someone asks how long it took to make one of our masks, I might say “16 episodes of Dr. Who.”

From our classic dragon and quatrefoil designs, to our fandom favourites, to all the new designs I have developed in preparation for this season’s markets, we are excited about this collection. Of course, it was hard to choose from the large variety of new wooden designs, and we could not commit to just a top 10, but we narrowed it down to our top 12.

We finally made some of the most requested items at the booth, wallets. Below are a couple of our bi fold and single fold wallets. We have several others in stock right now, including a skull and scarab. We plan to add one or two each week to our inventory, so there will be a large selection in no time. We are selling them at the market and other shows and will be putting them online in the near future. If you have any questions or would like to purchase one, please email us and we will add it to the store.
